Swing clamps pneumatic

The pneumatic swing clamp is suitable for clamping workpieces from above. The swivel and clamping function occurs pneumatically. The swivel function enables unobstructed insertion and removal of the workpiece. Optimum accessibility to the workpiece is guaranteed. The foot of the housing offers universal fastening possibilities, enabling the swing clamp to be optimally aligned with the workpiece being clamped. The swing clamps are available in left or right swivelling versions. Pneumatic swing clamps can also be placed in multiple positions on the workpiece and operated in a particular order. They can be controlled manually or automatically.

Swing clamps are used where the clamping points must be free when the workpiece is loaded or removed.

Collets for clamping external contours. The contour of the workpiece to be held is inserted into the collet. Free-form and asymmetrical contours can be held. The collet mechanism enables a secure clamping of the workpiece. Clamping travel per collet segment (8x) max. 0.15 mm. Workpiece repeat accuracy: ±0.03. Collet repeat accuracy: ±0.02. Matching adaptor 03167.

Pneumatic clamps have the following advantages compared to hand clamps: The operator is relieved of frequent clamping. Several clamps can be activated at the same time and can be closed in a specific sequence. Single or multiple clamps can be activated from varying positions by machine control or hand control. Because of the toggle system: the clamp remains closed if the air supply fails. the air consumption is low due to the large end ratio. pivoting the clamping arm achieves a large opening travel. optimum force and movement ratios are achieved. VL = air consumption per complete cycle in dm³ at 6 bar. Selection criteria: To select the correct size of pneumatic clamps, the possible clamping force at 6 bar (any compressed media are permissible, maximum pressure 10 bar) is specified besides the retaining force. F3 is the possible clamping force that the clamp exerts on the end of the clamping arm, F4 the force it exerts on the fulcrum side.
